“I’m here to give you the letter, Sir,” Anna Pavlova said.
“Thank you,” replied the headmaster.
She walked over to his desk. Looking up, he found her quite nervous, “Oh, little Pavlova , you aren’t a new students , are you? ” he asked.
Anna held her head high, which still made her look far younger than her fifteen years. “ I’ve been at this ballet school for almost five years, ” she said proudly. The headmaster liked the way she talked.
A pair of red ballet shoes set all alone on the table caught her eyes.
“That is Taglioni’s shoes, I’m very sorry that there’s nobody who can wear it today. Her feet were small and perfect,” he said.

Sunshine on a rainy day
Have you ever had a day when everything seemed to go wrong, and nothing seemed to go right? Not too long ago I was having one of those days. I was discouraged, weary, and sad. My focus was on me, me,me. After all, no one else was experiencing the same trials as I was.
I expressed my downcast state to my mother, hoping for some pity. Instead, she said, “I hear that Jamie was having a difficult day too. Why don’t you make her some cookies and we’ll take them to her this afternoon?” I didn’t really want to, but decided that I didn’t want to go back to my other problems just yet. I made the cookies and arranged them on a little plate. Then I made a card with a sunflower on it and wrote a note of empathy.
That afternoon we dropped in my friend’s house. I went to the door and rang the bell. Soon, Jamie came to the door and looked at me in surprise for the unexpected visit. Before she could say anything I rushed, “I heard you were having a hard day and decided to bring you something. I hope your day goes better.” The look that came over Jamie’s face was one that I could never put into words. It was as if a darkened sky was suddenly lit with the golden rays of the sun; it was as if in that small act, her day was brightened.
I got back into the car and for some amazing reason, I felt a lot better myself. That day I experienced the truth that James Barrie attempted to describe. “Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others, cannot keep it from themselves.”
60. Why did the writer feel discouraged?

What would you do if a hungry shark attacked you? Hopefully you will never have to answer that question for real. Aaron Perez wasn’t so lucky. Last summer, the 11-year-old was swimming in the Gulf of Mexico, a bull shark suddenly attacked him.
Fortunately, Aaron knew what to do. Just the day before, he had learned that one should hit an attacking shark in the gills or eyes As the bull shark bit down on the boy’s arm, Perez beat it in the gills. The shark let go. Aaron managed to get to shore safely.
Why sharks attack?
No one knows why sharks attack people. Scientists say that it may be a case of mistaken identity. To a shark, a swimmer can look like a seal. And many sharks eat seals.
Sharks may not even like how people taste. Scientists point out that sharks often leave after just one bite, of course, even a single shark bite can be deadly.
Who’s afraid of whom?
Shark attacks are horrible. Luckily, they are also rare. Worldwide, sharks attack fewer than a hundred people a year. Only about six die. Overall, though, sharks have far more reasons to fear us than we have to fear them.
All sorts of sharks
Roughly 400 shark species swim in the world’s oceans today. They come in all sizes. Sharks eat other animals. Now let’s meet a few sharks.
The whale shark is the largest fish in the sea. Fully grown, it can be as long as a school bus. Yet, it does not hunt large animals.
Nearly 5,000 razor-sharp teeth? line the mouth of a great white shark. When one falls out, another replaces it. Those teeth help the shark hunt. Yet it doesn’t chew food. It swallows.
Great whites get blamed for most shark attacks. But tiger and bull sharks can also be dangerous. So can a few other species
Deep trouble
As deadly as some sharks look, the fearsome fish are not unstoppable. Nearly 80 shark species are threatened or endangered.
Time is running out for these species. Programs to protect sharks and their habitats are urgently needed to ensure that these magnificent species survive.
64. The purpose of the author in writing this passage might be_______.
A. how to protect yourself from being attacked by sharks
B. to introduce the natures of sharks
C. to draw readers’ attention to take measures to rescue sharks
D. how to protect sharks
65. The reason why sharks attack people probably is that_______.
A. they didn’t like people swimming in their places
B. they mistake a person as a seal
C. they tend to protect themselves from being hunted
D. people’s smell make sharks bored
66. Which of the following sharks is not likely to attack a human being?
A.The white shark B. Whale sharks
C Tiger sharks D. The bush shark
67. The underlined sentence “Time is running out for these species” probably has the same meaning as_______.
A. time is in favor of sharks
B. these sharks have tight time to hunt
C. there is not much time left for these sharks to live in the sea
D. these sharks need time to develop themselves
D
This is one of the tastiest ways of cooking carrots, and also the most sensible. Root vegetables easily absorb fat. By cooking not in water but in butter, you help to conserve nourishment（营养）.
You need a thick saucepan with a really tight lid. （This is essential because the carrots cook in the steam from their own moisture, and they produce so little steam that none of it must escape. ）
COOKING TIME
Sliced old carrots: 10—20 minutes; whole new carrots: up to 45 minutes
INGREDIENTS
Carrots , about 1 teaspoon of butter, seasoning, a very small amount of sugar, chopped parsley（西芹）.
METHOD
1. “Scrub” and peel the carrots and cut older carrots into even slices, not too thick. New carrots can be left whole.
2. Heat enough butter to cover the bottom of the pan well. When it is hot but not smoking, add the carrots.
3. Add salt and pepper, but not too much because, in this way of cooking, none of the seasoning’s flavor will be lost.
4. Cover with lid and cook over a gentle heat, shaking the pan occasionally so that the carrots do not stick or burn. Sliced carrots will take 10—20 minutes to become tender according to thickness. Whole new carrots may take up to 45 minutes.
5. Sprinkle lightly with the sugar. This helps to bring out the natural flavor of the carrots. Also sprinkle with coarsely（大块地） chopped parsley if you like the extra color and flavor.
68. A tight lid is needed to_______.
A. prevent steam from escaping
B. prevent the carrots from escaping
C. conserve sauce
D. let moisture escape
69. The underlined word “scrub” means_____.
A. wash with a brush__ __ B. scrape with a knife
C. remove the skin of the carrots
D. cut with knife
70. Not too seasoning should be added because_______.
A. a lot of salt and pepper will not be lost
B. steam will not be lost
C. its taste will not be lost
D. not too much salt and pepper will not be lost
71. How long will the thickly sliced carrots take to become tender?
A. 20 minutes__ B. 10—20 minutes
C. 10 minutes D. 45 minutes

Children who spend more time reading with their parents have a greater chance of becoming better readers than those who don’t. With help from their parents, children can learn techniques to improve their reading skills.
“A lot of parents think after their child learns to read, they should stop reading to them,” Donna George said. “They are sadly mistaken.”
George offers her services to parents at the Title I Learning Centers. She said reading aloud to children may be the most valuable thing parents can do. “It is better for children to hear things at a higher level than where they are,” George said. “Parents are their child’s first teacher.” Parents help their children build listening, phonics, comprehension and vocabulary skills when they can read aloud to them.
Before parents can identify reading problems, they should escape the enemy—television and limit the time their children spend watching television. George suggested not allowing kids to have a TV in their bedrooms, setting a schedule of when kids can watch or keeping a list of how many programs children watch. Louise Joines said while her 14-year-old daughter and 10-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son enjoy reading, the television sometimes becomes a distraction. So she tries to build the situation by suggesting books the entire family will enjoy reading together, like the Harry Potter series.
Parents who do not read themselves should not count on their children being enthusiastic about it. If parents would read to their children at least 15minutes every day, children would not have so many problems in school. It is the parents’ job to help build that desire in their children, and of course to know what kind of books to read is also important.
72. According to George, reading aloud to children_______.
A. help them correct mistakes.
B. is helpful to their reading
C. is parents’ first duty to their children
D. can get children out of television’s attraction
73. The underlined word “distraction”(in paragraph 4) means something that_______.
A. can improve children’s reading
B. can help children’s right way of reading
C. can make children interested in reading
D. can make children not attentive
74. What does the fourth paragraph mainly want to show is important?
A. reading skills
B. reading speed
C. feeding materials
D. reading environment
75. If the passage is not completed, which of the following can follow the fifth paragraph?
A. Parents choose reading materials for their children.
B. Advice is given to control their children.
C. What TV programs children can watch during reading.
D. How children improve their reading by themselves

What would you do if a hungry shark attacked you? Hopefully you will never have to answer that question for real. Aaron Perez wasn’t so lucky. Last summer, the 11-year-old was swimming in the Gulf of Mexico, a bull shark suddenly attacked him.
Fortunately, Aaron knew what to do. Just the day before, he had learned that one should hit an attacking shark in the gills or eyes As the bull shark bit down on the boy’s arm, Perez beat it in the gills. The shark let go. Aaron managed to get to shore safely.
Why sharks attack?
No one knows why sharks attack people. Scientists say that it may be a case of mistaken identity. To a shark, a swimmer can look like a seal. And many sharks eat seals.
Sharks may not even like how people taste. Scientists point out that sharks often leave after just one bite, of course, even a single shark bite can be deadly.
Who’s afraid of whom?
Shark attacks are horrible. Luckily, they are also rare. Worldwide, sharks attack fewer than a hundred people a year. Only about six die. Overall, though, sharks have far more reasons to fear us than we have to fear them.
All sorts of sharks
Roughly 400 shark species swim in the world’s oceans today. They come in all sizes. Sharks eat other animals. Now let’s meet a few sharks.
The whale shark is the largest fish in the sea. Fully grown, it can be as long as a school bus. Yet, it does not hunt large animals.
Nearly 5,000 razor-sharp teeth? line the mouth of a great white shark. When one falls out, another replaces it. Those teeth help the shark hunt. Yet it doesn’t chew food. It swallows.
Great whites get blamed for most shark attacks. But tiger and bull sharks can also be dangerous. So can a few other species
Deep trouble

Time is running out for these species. Programs to protect sharks and their habitats are urgently needed to ensure that these magnificent species survive.

This is one of the tastiest ways of cooking carrots, and also the most sensible. Root vegetables easily absorb fat. By cooking not in water but in butter, you help to conserve nourishment（营养）.
You need a thick saucepan with a really tight lid. （This is essential because the carrots cook in the steam from their own moisture, and they produce so little steam that none of it must escape. ）
COOKING TIME
Sliced old carrots: 10—20 minutes; whole new carrots: up to 45 minutes
INGREDIENTS
Carrots , about 1 teaspoon of butter, seasoning, a very small amount of sugar, chopped parsley（西芹）.
METHOD
1. “Scrub” and peel the carrots and cut older carrots into even slices, not too thick. New carrots can be left whole.
2. Heat enough butter to cover the bottom of the pan well. When it is hot but not smoking, add the carrots.
3. Add salt and pepper, but not too much because, in this way of cooking, none of the seasoning’s flavor will be lost.
4. Cover with lid and cook over a gentle heat, shaking the pan occasionally so that the carrots do not stick or burn. Sliced carrots will take 10—20 minutes to become tender according to thickness. Whole new carrots may take up to 45 minutes.
5. Sprinkle lightly with the sugar. This helps to bring out the natural flavor of the carrots. Also sprinkle with coarsely（大块地） chopped parsley if you like the extra color and flavor.
68. A tight lid is needed to_______.
A. prevent steam from escaping
B. prevent the carrots from escaping
C. conserve sauce

Children who spend more time reading with their parents have a greater chance of becoming better readers than those who don’t. With help from their parents, children can learn techniques to improve their reading skills.
“A lot of parents think after their child learns to read, they should stop reading to them,” Donna George said. “They are sadly mistaken.”
George offers her services to parents at the Title I Learning Centers. She said reading aloud to children may be the most valuable thing parents can do. “It is better for children to hear things at a higher level than where they are,” George said. “Parents are their child’s first teacher.” Parents help their children build listening, phonics, comprehension and vocabulary skills when they can read aloud to them.
Before parents can identify reading problems, they should escape the enemy—television and limit the time their children spend watching television. George suggested not allowing kids to have a TV in their bedrooms, setting a schedule of when kids can watch or keeping a list of how many programs children watch. Louise Joines said while her 14-year-old daughter and 10-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son enjoy reading, the television sometimes becomes a distraction. So she tries to build the situation by suggesting books the entire family will enjoy reading together, like the Harry Potter series.
Parents who do not read themselves should not count on their children being enthusiastic about it. If parents would read to their children at least 15minutes every day, children would not have so many problems in school. It is the parents’ job to help build that desire in their children, and of course to know what kind of books to read is also important.
72. According to George, reading aloud to children_______.
A. help them correct mistakes.
B. is helpful to their reading
C. is parents’ first duty to their children
D. can get children out of television’s attraction
73. The underlined word “distraction”(in paragraph 4) means something that_______.
A. can improve children’s reading
B. can help children’s right way of reading
C. can make children interested in reading
D. can make children not attentive
74. What does the fourth paragraph mainly want to show is important?
A. reading skills
B. reading speed
C. feeding materials
D. reading environment
75. If the passage is not completed, which of the following can follow the fifth paragraph?
A. Parents choose reading materials for their children.
B. Advice is given to control their children.
C. What TV programs children can watch during reading.
D. How children improve their reading by themselves
